It looks too far-fetched to be anything but a child’s toy. But for front-line troops in Afghanistan, this revolutionary vehicle could soon be a reality. The road-going army truck turns into a helicopter at the touch of a button, allowing it to fly above hazards such as roadside bombs. Read more: www.dailymail.co.uk... 16s5T7Qva



Wow, quite the step up in terms of transportation of settled troops. You would think it would be a plane, but nope, full out helicopter on top. In my opinon its better than a .50 cal on top

I still laugh at the 1950-1960's mentality that by the year 2000 all of this great technology such as flying cars would be commonplace.
Not that the technology we have compared to 50 years ago isnt spectacular, because it certainly is, but its just gone in such a different direction. Flying car -- not yet. Amazing amounts of data and technology streaming at lightning fast speeds to handheld devices -- old news.
What will tomorrow really bring?

I wonder everyday what kind of technological world will be seen in the next 50 years and how will it compare to the last 50.
